Msgee Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I don't even think it's for LA tenants, it always looks like PR puff to me, and the "quotes" always look highly suspect..I remember getting a copy through when all the Livesey stuff was going on, with the council pleading poverty.Grrrrrrr.

louisiana Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Just because you are poor/live in a crap part of town/on a crap housing estate, doesn't mean that what you deserve is a bundle of badly put-together council propaganda. I really do object to this approach. It's patronising and condescending.

It's patronising and condescending.If it was any better people would moan about their money being squandered on higher production values - when there's bobbies on the beat to pay for or something.Being a council is a constant catch-22 - you're going to piss off a proportion of people most of the time.

SteveT Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Not if you can justify your expenditure to rational people. Then you only upset the irrational who presumably have less sway.

jumpinjourno Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 > > It is the 'Southwark 'news so obviously includes> all areas in the Borough whether they interest you> or not!Woah, woah, woah... hold your horses there. A slight distinction is needed here. It is not the 'Southwark' News as in the independant 'Southwark News' that is printed weekly and costs 40p in the newsagent. This is a fantabulous publication full of interesting news, views and interviews as well as valuable information and rather interesting adverts across the borough... (excuse the blatantly obvious plug)While the Southwark Life is the council publication that drops through the letterbox.

KalamityKel Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 And as mentioned Southwark is a big borough covering a wider area than is led to believe...Ah nevermind!
